You know, that is definitely buildable, but I think that is something I would buy. But then again, the seed has now been planted….......as long as someone doesn’t water it, it won’t grow…............(-:

I just made one more modification to my old guard for the Delta Contractor Saw. Now I can put the guard on or off in 20 seconds. I put a slot in the back part of the splitter so the back bolt stays in place, on or off, and you can slide it on and then tighten what used to be a nut, now it is a plastic and brass 5/16 jig knob. The front one always was a slider. but it had a bolt fitting into a purposefully sloppy nut mechanism. I put a 5/16 inch T bolt through the wrong way and tightened it, and now have a plastic and brass 5/16 jig knob there. It used to take me just under a minute, and I had a bolt and nut to replace when I put it back on, and it took a wrench to tighten the front bolt. Now I have it down to 20 seconds, and there are no loose parts. Just making sure the job of being safe is very easy.

Of course I plan to replace the whole guard system, just aint’ there yet.

RandHopefully, I will post both the completed super sled, and the guard modifications, probably Sunday. If things don’t work out with the sled, I will post the guard modifications alone, they are really simple and work well. So I am listening buddy, we’ll get you the pictures.

Thanks for the safety post, got me into doing the additional mod, when I had the inspiration, this afternoon. Now I am throttling back, Sherie is home cooking, first time I haven’t cooked in over two weeks. The mods just involve some knobs and bolts, and about 10 minutes of hack saw work on the splitter. I am pretty pleased. This was easy. I just happened to have everything in the shop when the idea came to me.
